[Q] screen - black rendering issue :( - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello, first i would like to say thanks for having me here. I'm a new android user coming from iOS and I couldn't be more happier!
I just received my galaxy note n7000 today and everything was setup perfect and worked, until the Software Update. I noticed once the updates were done black or any dark images/videos weren't rendering correct. It looked pixelated and patchy only when it's dark.. I don't know what I did wrong or how to fix this issue? Do i need to return my phone or something? please help any suggestion would be appreciated!
Seems like lockscreen, music album images and videos are mainly having this issues :/
Thanks for your time.

This is a well know issue. Discussed in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1430847
It seems like most notes have the problem to varying degrees.

CYAN 3.6.2, trouble with scrolling?

First off, let me apologize, if this is the wrong place to ask, I checked for a dedicated thread for cyanogen 3.6.2, but didn't see anything, at least not in the recent pages.
Be that as it may, here's my problem: I'm running an imported US G1, on the orange Siwtzerland network. I recently rooted my phone and flashed the cyan 3.6.2 rom to it. While I'm very much impressed at the added functionality, I'm having trouble with vertical scrolling (mainly in long list-like pages, in the browser, market or twidroid). The screen seems to 'hesitate' and 'catch' when I try to flick it with my finger. Sometimes it then starts moving, sometimes it flashes down to the bottom of the page at very high speeds.
I never had this trouble with the stock 1.5 f/w, and I'm wondering if this is a known drawback of cyanogen 3.6.2, and if so, which other release the experts would recommend.
For sake of completeness, here's the exact version numbers off my phone:
Model number: Android Dev Phone 1
Firmware version: 1.5
Baseband version: 62.33.20.08H_1.22.12.29
Kernel Version: 2.6.29-cm [email protected]
Mod version: CyanogenMod-3.6.2
Build Number: dream_devphone-userdebug 1.5 CRB43 148830 test-keys
dude...why the hell are u still wit 3.6.2? where have u been...3.8 and 3.9.5 are rolling along...
So which would you recommend? I was under the impression that the 3.9 releases were still pretty unstable, maybe I'm mistaken.
I have no use for A2DP, so that's a non-issue. What I need mainly is a smoothly working UI (no hangs or freezes).

I9000M Bell Vibrant Cyanogenmod

This noob successfully rooted his Vibrant thanks to some key members here. Now I need your help for another matter. I installed Cyanogenmod 7 nightly and it worked! I did it this way: http://www.theandroidsoul.com/cyanogenmod-7-cm7-samsung-galaxy-s/
The only problems that I'm having now is:
1)ClockWorkModRecovery does not want to reboot so I can't install anything else to it, which brings me to
2)I can't install Google apps like the Market. I went through this procedure:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DHgZNnHdrSA and it only took me so far. It came to the home screen and it said that the widget had a problem loading. I couldn't get it to reboot and install after that. Please help - once again.
3)Should I flash another base band version? I know you guys were telling me to get the UGKG3
Latest info on the phone:
Android version: 2.3.7
Baseband version: I9000XXJVK
Kernel version: 2.6.35.14-g7a2264a [email protected]#1
Mod version: Cyanogenmod-7-11162011-NIGHTLY-Galaxy S
Build number: GWK74
Please and thank you guys.
Update:
So I switched to the Stable version. I'm not sure if this was the right move, but help me out here. the only thing that's changed is:
Kernel version: 2.6.35.12-gdf10700 [email protected] #1
mod version: Cyanogenmod-7.1.0-Galaxy S
The only problem now is that the market app is there, but whenever I search and am about to download an app it has to force close because of unstable behaviour. So now I can't get any apps even though the market app is there...
So I tried Cyanogenmod 7 and even though it was blazingly fast and fun to play around with, I decided to go back to Stock gingerbread. Why mess with something that ain't broke, right? Regardless, it was a great learning experience and I encourage any wannabe enthusiast to try it out. I found out it wasn't for me and that's ok. Thanks to the guys here for your help. I'll try other things. Later.

Hi there.
I got the same problem.
Here is the rom I'm using :
DarkyRom 3.3 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1461794)
And the kernel is that one : 2.6.35.13-franco.Kernel-2
When using the rom, at first, everything is fine. then when turning off next 10 secs, the screen is black with many colors. At first, only one (red), then a few more, and it is going on, more and more, and the screen is "lightning".
I don't know where is the problem but if someone got an idea or any help to give, that would be great ^^'

yeah yeah thats it! Little specks increasing to whiteness.
Is your model N7000B or N7000?
The problem might have something to do with Kernal CWM.
What I did was flash a stock rom from samfirmwares.com but the only problem is I couldn't find the original stock (thl) rom that came with the phone.
being N7000B. FIRMWARE PDA: LA2/ PHONE: KL2 CSC: KL3
Anyhow for now with new stock it is working fine.
ps. something else I have noticed is the photos I took before I flashed the new stock rom when zooming in the pixel of the photo doesn't fix. but when I take new photos and zoom in, it is fine. figures
Same to me, the problem was solved by flashing another rom, but I wonder why it happened.
About the photos? i didn't notice, I just scared something bad could happen to the phone about the problem posted above
N.B : I got a N7000 ;=)
Hi,
I've got the same problem on my wife's phone (White GNote).
Problem not seen on mine. :/
Did you solved it ? (I'm on DarkyRom)
All other rom I've tested don't have this issue.
here is another thread with the same issue.
Edit:
SOLVED !
Flashed new kernel: AbyssNote -> OK
Also tested another version of franco.Kernel with no luck

If you really need a reliable bluetooth connection the only real option right now is to restock and go with an ICS build. Otherwise make do, and wait until they have it worked out.

i can detect other device
i can pair with other device
and was able to send files to it

I've never really put the Bluetooth (as in AD2P or Earwigs Headphone(s)). on my GT-P1000 into any real world practice yet. So just how stable it is long-term? I know not. But, I have shot many a File mostly (*.apk's) to, and from my GT-I9000 (Galaxy S), or to my Old Man's GT-P1000 to help get his Device set up. We both have CM10 Mod Builds (i.e. Android 4.1.2), and neither of us have had any of the (Frontal) Camera, or Bluetooth problems that are being discussed here.
Mr. Icarus1314 has but, Two choices here, continue using the "SHINY SHINY" and learn to give up both his Camera, and the Bluetooth. Or revert back to a stable CM10 build. I see no benefit at all in reverting all the way down to Ice Cream Sandwich, and its persistent Navigation Bar.
Unfortunately (for us GT-P1000) Users something got broke between CM10, and the .1, and .2 Builds that remains broken still in CM11 (Android v4.4.3 Codename KitKat), and until these bugs get fixed CM10 (Android v4.1.2 Jelly Bean), is pretty much it for now.

[Q] Samsung Galaxy S i9000 Cyanogen mod

i was trying to get the above mentioned cyanogen mod onto my phone, but got stuck somewhere along the road. Here are some system specs so someone may have a chance to figure out what it looks like right now.
firmware version: 2.3.6
Base band version: I9000XWJW1
Kernel: [email protected] # 2
Build-Number: Gingerbrad.XWJW6
so much to what the phone itself has to say - heres some info taken from CWM Manager
CWM Manager v2.0
Current Kernel: CF-Root 4.4
oh - and i updated the SuperSU which came along.
has anyone an idea how to proceed from there? i read a lot about getting cyanogen mod - including some mentions that the recent 10.1 build to android 4.2.1 (or was it 4.2.2 ?? ) would work on the i9000 - but i cant figure out what to do from here - i´m getting confused about all the build numbers and so on - it would be nice if someone could point out to me which build numbers and updates to look for exactly.
Thx

CM is a custom ROM for your i9000. You can update your phone with this ROM to enjoy the latest Android OS like 4.0 (IceCream Sandwich), 4.1 & 4.2 (Jelly Bean). Samsung has stopped supporting us with any further updates post 2.3.6 which was Gingerbread Value Pack. If you are interested in flashing you stock ROM to taste new OS, follow this links:
1. Install ICS: Installing Ice-cream Sandwich 4.0.4 On Samsung Galaxy S GT-i9000
2. Install JB: Installing Jelly Bean 4.1 on Galaxy S GT-I9000
ENJOY
my thx to you - finally - an understandable guide!
jey there - it worked.
now i just need to figure out how to update to a recent build? do you perhaps know where i can manually download the new package? the auto updater doesnt seem to work...
i chose the cm10 fishears build mentioned in the links above.
thx

The recent CM runs on 4.2.2, you can flash the latest nightly from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2039755
thx - that did work as well.
didnt think it was that easy - all the other guides in the net were throwing around lots of strange build numbers and didnt offer much in the way of a guideline - beeing able to rely on you guys for information really saved my day. ^^
Great to hear that you liked the guide and did flash successfully. Hit thanks if that really helped you...
